Quick Check: Is Your Grooming Business Slow Right Now? ☹️

We’re hearing Jan–Feb have been unusually slow for groomers nationwide. Is that true for you?

Happy Friday Daily Groomers,

‍

We’ve been hearing the same thing from Teddy customers, salon owners, and mobile groomers all across the country:

January was slow.

‍
February hasn’t picked up.

‍

Fewer calls.

‍
More open spots.

‍
Way more “I’ll book next month” conversations than usual.

‍

Some folks are chalking it up to post-holiday spending hangovers. Others are blaming weather, cancellations, or clients stretching time between grooms.

‍

So let’s sanity check it 👇

‍

⬇️ Vote in the poll below ⬇️ (I’ll report back with the results next week!)

‍

Is your grooming business slower than normal right now?

Slower than usual 😩

About the same 🤷‍♀️

Busier than normal 🔥

Depends on the week

‍

(And if you’ve managed to stay really busy, we definitely want to hear that too.)

‍

For the love of grooming,

‍

Alex
